English with Dane - Real English for Spanish Speakers

This article I came across had a refreshing perspective on the psychology behind how we stop ourselves from reaching our goals and how we kid ourselves (cómo nos engañamos) when it comes to actually changing things in our lives. With New Year's resolutions around the corner, what better time to reflect on how we're holding ourselves back. I thought it was a fun article to read together because of the way it's written. It's as if your friend was talking to you, giving you a no-bullsh*t take on things. I really enjoyed it, and there's a bunch of great vocabulary and expressions that we'll talk about along the way. Hope you like it, and if you do, share it with a friend ✌️

Learning English with TV Shows is all good. But not all genres are created equal. This is a guide to the most underrated genres of shows that you might be ignoring. Yes, Friends and How I Met Your Mother are fun and stuff, but you might be sleeping on where the learning is actually happening. This episode is a wake up call for those of you whose main exposure to English is related to your TV. + Let's end the subtitle debate. This episode is ALSO a guide for how to use subtitles the right way, as well as strategies you can start using to really challenge yourself and ge to that next level. I really liked this episode.

Read this article with me.We change the way we speak depending on who we're talking to. I think we can all agree on that. Some do it more than others, and some ethnicities HAVE to do it more than others, in order to try to avoid being stigmatised or stereotyped. I thought this was SUCH an interesting article about the Costs of Code-Switching and how we are impacted by it. This article focuses more on how Code-Switching affects black professionals in the US, and gives a really interesting view into a world that perhaps most of us are completely unaware of.

A look into some of the most common phrases and verbs you can use at work to sound like you know what you're talking about 😉. To circle back, to touch base, to sync up and more. + Dane's new immersion project right here in Madrid.

Conversación en inglés para practicar.This conversation features my friend and celebrity hairstylist / make up artist Ruben Ramos @theawakeningofstyleWe talk about the importance of feeling good about yourself and how that impacts how you act upon the world, if beauty standards are getting away from us a bit, if botox and other procedures are a "slipper slope", and more. Ruben's English isn't perfect, and throughout our conversation im helping him with small corrections to make sure we don't reinforce any incorrect structures. I hope this conversation illustrates that your English doesn't have to be perfect to be able to get your point across, and it's more about choosing your words with purpose, and speaking at a pace that feels good to you.
